Pakistan and the Netherlands will kick off their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaigns on the second day of the competition. At Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the two sides will square off against one another in a game that is set to start at 2:00 pm IST. Pakistan and Netherlands first met in the 1996 Cricket World Cup and since then they have played against each other in six matches so far. So after a long gap, these two teams are meeting each other in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The Babar Azam-led Pakistan is among the best teams in ODI cricket and are currently placed second in the ICC ODI rankings. Netherlands on the other hand is being led by the young captain Scott Edwards. The Dutch side has players with lots of potential, who can give a tough fight in this tournament. Even though the Netherlands have nothing to lose, they will be all geared up to give their best and push themselves as far as they can in this ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 tournament. On Which Channel ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Will Be Telecast Live?

Pakistan didn't have their dream start to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 preparations as they lost both of their warm-up matches. In their warm-up match against New Zealand, Pakistan put up a huge target of 346 and the Kiwis still managed to change them down. However, it would be unfair to judge them from that as Pakistan are still an unpredictable squad and, on their best day they can obliterate any team. There are questions about Fakhar Zaman's spot in Pakistan's lineup but he is expected to open the innings. Babar will bat at number three and will be tasked with helping Rizwan put the team in a commanding position. The Netherlands, on the other hand, have played a few games against Karnataka. While the rain-soaked warm-up match against Australia was going smoothly but was cancelled at the end.. Max O'Dowd, Wesley Baressi, and Bas de Leede will be expected to carry the bat for the Netherlands, who have a group of players with considerable experience. Both Roelof van der Merwe and Logan van Beek will unquestionably start, and Paul van Meekeren will direct the pace attack.
